Over the Fence Cuppa | Neighbours Aotearoa

Having an over the fence cuppa in the beautiful Kāpiti Coast is the perfect way to take that first step in getting to know your neighbours better – or to renew the relationships you've already created. It encourages us all to connect with our neighbours and celebrate our neighbourhoods.

Getting to know your neighbours strengthens our community, making us all healthier, safer and more resilient – especially during emergencies when we need to support each other.

Over the Fence Cuppas

Over the Fence Cuppas are get-togethers organised by and for your local neighbourhood – they’re easy to organise, and a great way to get to know your neighbours better. These fun and friendly events for you and your neighbours will help you know who might need extra help in an emergency – and who might have special skills to give you extra help, too.

You can host a cuppa in your home or garden, on the berm, or even in a local park. You might decide to share morning tea, a barbecue, supper, or anything in between.

Your neighbourhood might choose a theme and plan some fun activities, like swapping homegrown produce, getting creative with chalk on the footpath, or even just sharing cake and a chat. There are heaps of ideas on the Neighbours Aotearoa website.


Theme and event dates

The theme for our Over the Fence Cuppas this year is Let's share. What better way to do this than to invite your neighbours over for a cuppa, share a meal or homegrown produce, host a guest speaker, discuss ways to help your neighbourhood prepare for an emergency, or even just say hi and share your contact details.

Events run Friday 24 March to Sunday 2 April. 


How to get involved

All it takes is one member of your street – it might be you, or someone else – to register as the event host.

Invite or involve three or more households from your street, and hold your event anytime 24 March to 2 April 2023.

Registrations are now closed. 


Support and resources

When you register, you’ll choose whether you want to receive resources, tips and support to organise your event. This includes:

  • an event pack of your choice (an Over the Fence Cuppa pack or a Over the Fence BBQ pack)
  • an invitation to our launch party, hosted by Mayor Holborow.

You can also choose if you’d like giant games or workshops at your event, or advice and tips from the Wellington Region Emergency Management Office (WREMO) and Council.

What’s in it for you? You’ll get to know your neighbours better, and when you register your event, you’ll go in the draw to win some great prizes, such as a water tank donated by WREMO, Love local hampers, and vouchers donated by Neighbourhood Support.
